Given numbers are 3140,2146

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 3140,2146 is 3369220.

Find LCM of 3140,2146 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 1570 x 1073 = 3369220

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3140,2146 is 3369220.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

3140 x 2146 = 6738440

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

3140 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 157, 314, 628, 785, 1570, 3140

2146 : 1, 2, 29, 37, 58, 74, 1073, 2146

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3140,2146, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3140:2x 2x 5x 157

2146:2x 29x 37

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

= 1

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 6738440/(2x1)

LCM = 6738440/2

LCM = 3369220

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3140,2146 is 3369220.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 9397, 1213
